Teaching Approach

The decline in student engagement with Science and Mathematics in Malaysian schools is concerning, with many students finding these subjects unappealing.

Studies indicate that the key reason for students losing interest in these subjects is that they cannot relate the lessons to real-world situations. For example, explaining the mechanics of gears and pulleys using textbook diagrams and pictures poses a significant challenge for school teachers. Similarly, this applies to mathematical topics such as calculus.

Although there are initiatives to change students' perspectives, the teaching method is key to making a difference.

Our Teaching Approach

Robots2U is dedicated to igniting young learners' passion for knowledge through a fun, 'learn by doing' method.

At the heart of our teaching model lies the '4C Learning Approach,' a unique methodology carefully designed to transform traditional learning into an interactive and enriching experience.

This approach keeps students motivated by involving them in hands-on activities and thought-provoking challenges, sparking their curiosity and inspiring them to delve deeper into the subjects they study. Additionally, it ensures that the knowledge they gain is not only retained but also applied effectively in real-world situations.

The 4C Learning Approach consists of four stages: Construct, Connect, Code, and Contemplate. Each stage is designed to build on the previous one, helping young learners to progress easily.

Connect

Lessons begin by connecting the purpose of learning to real-life examples, capturing students' interest. Interactive media is incorporated to enhance engagement and maintain focus.
 

Construct

The excitement starts here, with every lesson featuring a hands-on building activity. Students will construct their robot models, applying both practical skills and critical thinking to solve a task. Through this, they will investigate and learn how different mechanisms work.
 

Code

Once their robot model is fully constructed, students will code and test it to solve the given challenge. Worksheets are provided to support their learning. In this stage, students will explore various solutions and algorithms as they work to complete the challenge.

Contemplate

In the final stage, students will reflect on what they’ve learned through the construction and programming process. They are encouraged to upgrade their models and add extra features, which leads to a continuous learning cycle, allowing them to tackle more difficult challenges and advance their skills.
